Anywhere Remodeling, Inc. 2.0 Company Summary Anywhere Remodeling, Inc. started as a proprietorship originally named Right Stuff Construction in August 1989, serving Anywhere, World. Its c ustomers pay 10- 15% extra to feel "taken c are of." Their need to trust a contractor allows them to feel comfortable with slightly higher than average prices.
2.1 Company Ownership Anywhere Remodeling, Inc. is an S corporation owned in majority by its founder and president, Bob Hammer. There are two part owners: Steve Field & Bill Sales. Neither owns more than 15%, but both are active participants in management decisions.
2.2 Company History Anywhere Remodeling, Inc. was founded in 1989 as a sole proprietorship registered in Anywhere, World as Right St uff Construction, ow ned and operated by Bob Hammer. It w as a originally a handyman business specializing in house painting. After seeing an influx of competition in response to the recent housing crisis, Bob decided that the best way t o adapt t o the market was t o take advantage of the f act that new building permits are down. The theory is that because new home construction is down, those people who have the extra money to spend will be more likely to hold on to their assets and remodel existing homes rather than go out and buy a new home.

3.0 Products and Services Anywhere Remodeling, Inc. is a full-service remodeling contractor. At present we do mostly high-end, single room, kitchen/bath and whole house remodels. It is our philosophy that we can offer a quality product in a timely fashion giving the customer one-on-one service.
Anywhere Remodeling, Inc. 4.1 Market Segmentation In an era of dec reasing residential property values and relatively stable rates of personal income growth, Anywhere Remodeling, Inc. is foc using on two se gments of t he residential remodeling market: 1) Neighborhoods where homeowners have achieved success in t heir careers and have room in their budget for investment in their homes, but are not eager to incur a much higher mortgage payment by selling their house and 'buying up.' [Such targeted neighborhoods have housing stoc k with room to expand and are deemed to be worth t he upgrade expenditures.] 2) Run-down neighborhoods that have been targeted by c ommunity decision-makers for renewal. About 20% of Anywhere's overall volume consists of remodeling projects for businesses within the community areas being revitalized.

Anywhere Remodeling, Inc. 4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy Anywhere Remodeling's targeted market groups were c hosen bec ause of the long-term potential for continued sales. Assuming high quality work and effective word-of-mouth marketing, t he t argeted, potent ially upgradeable, neighborhoods afford a c ontinuing supply of work to do. The business remodels, while providing a smaller portion of the firm's income, offer an important opportunity to build relationships and generate trust with business owners and managers who have homes in the targeted ‘upgradeable' homes.
4.3 Service Business Analysis As a whole, the building industry is a very fragmented industry. Despite large homebuilders, no single company has as much as a 2% market share. The remodeling industry is even more diluted with only a handful of companies in the nation showing annual sales in excess of $10 million. Under the standard definition, all remodelers fall into the category of a small business.
4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns The remodeling market is made up of potential customers who weigh three competing values: Price, Quality and Service. There is a saying that a remodeling company can deliver any two of those values. A large portion of the potential customers are asking for quality and service, and then go shopping for price. These customers are extremely difficult t o work for and make a
Anywhere Remodeling, Inc. 1. Anywhere Remodeling needs t o sell the company, not the price. 2. Anywhere has to sell its quality and service. The actual remodeling is like the razor, and the support, service, design and hand holding are the razor blades. We need to serve our customers with what they really need. The Yearly Total Sales chart summarizes an ambitious sales forecast. Anywhere expects sales to increase significantly from $750,000 last year.
5.1.1 Sales Forecast The important elements of the sales forecast are shown in the Total Sales by Month in Year 1 chart. Total sales will increase substantially over the next several years.
